The other day i told you that my son Desmond refused to take my bento lunch as he is prefered to the foods from canteen..But now no more, ﻿he is keeps asking me to bring bento lunch for him, you know why, because his classmates always praise on his bento lunch. So now he is very proud to have bento lunch, little boy is little boy, hehehe..

Today i made this Teriyaki chicken meat balls for bento lunch. I like to use those tough part of chicken e.g chicken breast or meat attached to chicken wings to make into meat balls..

The other day my blogger friend Simple Menu (Yan) forwarded a link to me and asked me : you do you do, you can do this, hahaha..

She always asked me to try out new recipe when she found any interesting ﻿recipes. Since i still have half pumpkin sitting in the fridge, why not try this cute pumpkin bun which look like pumpkin shape.

The other day i saw this recipe published in newspaper, sound yummy and healthy. If i want to buy the real unagi, it is very expensive. So i have no doubt immediately try out this cheap version of vegetarian unagi. The taste was nothing close to real unagi but this is a dish that worth to try out, yummy!

Today i made another batch of pickled mustard green (Kiam Chai) because the price of mustard green is so so cheap RM 1/kg (last time i bought RM 2/kg)..So if you have not tried this pickle veggie, go to wet market grap some mustard green quickly...i think they are over supply now..And i found homemade Kiam Chai is more sour and less salty if compare to store-bought, especially taste delicious when add into Teochew steamed fish.

Come back to today's post, we tried this Portuguese style of prawns when we celebrated Mother's day in a Chinese restaurant nearby. We were enjoyed so much of this yummy prawn, the sauce was sweet, sour and full of curry aroma. I tried to recall the taste and re-create this dish recently, and it was really good, especially licking the sauce from the shell, yummy!

Ya, i have to say sorry to my silent readers again, because this time Random org still pick two winners from bloggers and they are also my blogger's friend, check it out below.

The other day i bought this cheap fennel from Tesco before i figure out what to cook with this new veggie. First i try to taste the raw fennel, it has very strong taste than leek or celery, i don't know how to describe the taste..Thus i came to this idea using sweet soy sauce to reduce the strong taste..

Just cooked this dish just now, quickly write it down the recipe and have it post immediately, before i forgot to post it (not actually forgot but i always tend to attracted by other nicer pictures ^_^). The idea of this dish was came from my husband who tasted this dish in a restaurant. Since i still have homemade pickled mustard green, so i quickly try it out, and quite impressed with the yummy taste..I supposed they tried to replaced the usual salted fish added in this dish with pickled mustard...
